Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal are interested in the 26-year-old star, who may fetch £86 million

Viktor Gyokeres, a striker for Sporting CP, has been rumoured to leaving the team this summer.

The 26-year-old has excelled since joining the Portuguese division, and in all competitions last year, he scored 43 goals and grabbed 15 assists.

According to Football Insider, teams including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur have all expressed interest in signing the player.

The Swedish international has the ability to completely change all four clubs. He is considered by many to be one of the best goal scorers in European football at the moment.

Nicolas Jackson was a striker in La Liga before joining Chelsea last summer, but he hasn’t exactly impressed. The 26-year-old Sporting CP player would be the perfect addition for Chelsea, who are in need of an upgrade. He has established himself as a trustworthy goal scorer and will also provide creative support.

Similar to this, Tottenham is in desperate need of a trustworthy finisher since Harry Kane left. Gyokeres may change them in the latter third, making him the perfect addition.

Gyokeres is also desired by Liverpool and Arsenal. A dependable finisher would also be helpful for Liverpool, especially given Darwin Nunez’s recent play. The Uruguayan international is still a talented player, but in the previous campaign, he had trouble capitalising on clear opportunities. In the last third, Liverpool has to be more inventive.

Regarding Arsenal, the Gunners must replace Gabriel Jesus, who managed just four goals in the league the previous year. With him leading the line, they have no chance of winning the league championship.

All four teams may find the Swedish international striker to be the perfect fit, but it is unclear if they will formally express their interest in signing him. The striker’s contract contains an £86 million release clause, so it’s unlikely that he’ll be an inexpensive addition this summer.

FSG withdraws from Bordeaux deal; statement made; Liverpool owners explain choice

Liverpool’s owner, FSG, has pulled away from an agreement to buy French club Bordeaux. The reasoning behind the decision has been explained.

Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owner of Liverpool, has withdrawn from a proposed takeover bid for French club Bordeaux. Looking to transition to a multi-club model, the American group had been in talks with the Ligue 2 side.

However, a press release from Bordeaux has stated that exploratory conversations between FSG and the six-time French champion have concluded. Liverpool’s ownership group will instead look elsewhere to grow its portfolio.

“FC Girondins de Bordeaux and its shareholder have been informed by Fenway Sports Group of its desire not to pursue discussions initiated in recent weeks with a view to purchasing the club,” according to a statement. “This decision is explained in particular by the stadium’s substantial expense in the coming years, as well as the overall economic environment of French football.

“FC Girondins de Bordeaux and Gérard Lopez would like to thank Fenway Sports Group for their interest in the club and its teams, as well as for travelling to meet with its stakeholders. The Club and its shareholders are currently focusing all of their efforts on finalising a funding plan for the 2024/2025 season in preparation for the appeal hearing.”

According to Liverpool.com, while a move to acquire Bordeaux appeared to make sense, the reasons for pulling out of a potential agreement mount up. It will be intriguing to watch where FSG goes next as it seeks to acquire another football team.

The benefits of doing so are obvious, but it must be the proper move to be effective. Michael Edwards and Julian Ward will both be involved once a new team has been formed, with the latter having been part of the discussions in this case.
